But really, we wanted one last tour to say goodbye to our friends, family and fans, and ride The Love Train together, one last time.” – Walter Williams Sr I will be 60, and Eddie… you can do the rest of the math. “The reason that this is our last tour is because, between Eddie and I, our ages will be over 160 years old by the end of the tour.
Eddie Levert Sr, Walter Williams Sr, and Eric Nolan Grant, who joined the group in 1995, continue to thrill fans today. This success propelled The O’Jays to be the first black vocal group to perform in arenas throughout America during the 70s and 80s. With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The O’Jays scored their first number 1 and million-selling song, “Backstabbers:, followed by more chart-topping pop and R&B singles including “Love Train,” “Put Your Hands Together,” “For The Love of Money,” “I Love Music,” “Darlin’ Darlin’ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love),” “Livin’ For The Weekend” and “Use Ta Be My Girl.” In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom the O’Jays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label. The O’Jays are touring history, a connection to an era, and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. After more than 60 years electrifying people all over the world, the mighty, legendary, R&B/Soul kings The O’Jays are set to embark on their final tour! Featuring original members Eddie Levert Sr and Walter Williams Sr, who have been singing together for over 70 years!
